Brooker’s two tries – scored either side of the halftime break – were two of the home side’s best on a day Canterbury never trailed. She beat four defenders on the way to the line for her first, before wriggling out of another after collecting a chip kick to bag her second.

Canterbury wing Isabella Waterman scored a peach of a try in her team’s big win against Counties Manukau in Christchurch on Saturday. However, wing Isabella Waterman’s try after the halftime hooter – when she got on the end of a smooth TeRauoriwa Gapper cross-field kick and carried a defender over the line – was probably the pick of the lot.
